Looking at Ling Chunuan's distant eyes, Gu Yuechen felt an unbearable stuffiness in her heart.
"Nan Zhou, you go out first."
Lu Nanzhou's face showed a trace of doubt, but he didn't think much of it and turned to leave.
After closing the door, Gu Yuechen took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.
"Nuannuan, is it really so hard for you to accept that I'm with Nan Zhou?"
"I don't want to talk about this."
Ling Chunuan frowned, her eyes full of avoidance.
"If it's so hard for you to accept, I'll go out and break up with him now. We'll be like before, just say the word."
"He likes you, Chen. There's no point in you doing this."
Ling Chunuan lowered her head and held her red wrist with a calm expression.
"I don't care. I just want to know if you're so uncomfortable with me being with him. If so, I'll break up with him, as long as we can be like before."
Ling Chunuan's frown deepened. "Chen, you don't have to be like this. I didn't mean that."
I just need time to resolve this embarrassment in my heart.
"I can do it, but you can't, right?"
Gu Yuechen's face was livid. "Just because Lu Nanzhou confessed to me, even if I'm not with him, you still want to draw a line between us. Ling Chunuan, what's wrong with you? How can you be so stubborn? Do you know what you want? You've been like this since you were young. If you don't say it, how can others understand? What's the point of hiding? If I didn't come to you, were you planning to hide from me forever? "
The air was silent for a long time. Ling Chunuan turned off the stove and said softly, "Let's eat.
"Get ready to eat. This dish is ready."
Gu Yuechen was so angry that she saw stars. She slammed the door and left.
He had clearly come to apologize, but in the end, he couldn't suppress his temper. No matter what he said or did, it seemed like he had bullied her again. It was too cowardly.
Ling Chunuan stood in place for a long time, staring at the pot of food with a complicated expression.
Her temperament and that of Gu Yuechen were polar opposites. One was lukewarm, while the other was aggressive. They would often talk nonsense for half a day, and now it seemed that they were in such a state.
After setting the table, she went to the living room to call for Zhuang Hong, only to find that there was no one in the living room. She went to all the rooms in the courtyard but still couldn't find him. In the end, she had no choice but to knock on the bedroom door of the east room of the main hall and ask Zhuang Hong.
"Where are Chen and the others?"
Zhuang Hong glanced at her and said in a lukewarm tone.
"You didn't ask me to look after it for you."
"…" Seeing that she did not speak, Zhuang Hong sighed in his heart. How did he end up with such a clown? He said reluctantly, "I heard the sound of the luggage wheels outside. They should have left."
"Left?" Ling Chunuan was stunned. "Where are they going?"
"To stay in a hotel, of course." Zhuang Hong looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "Don't tell me that you want them to stay?"
Ling Chunuan's reaction was unexpected to Zhuang Hong.
She looked completely relieved. She looked up at him, her eyes sparkling. "Then let's eat. There are so many dishes today, we might not be able to finish them."
She was frank and straightforward. All her emotions were written on her face.
How did he meet such a clown?
Zhuang Hong's slender fingers grasped the pages of his book, and the deep look in his eyes suddenly turned gentle. The awkwardness that had been going on for a long time was all gone because of Ling Chunuan's relieved expression.
During the meal, Zhuang Hong mentioned that there was a family dinner this weekend.
"Where is it?"
"The capital."
"Oh, it's Friday today. Then you should pack up and go back early. Otherwise, you won't be able to make it."
"You're going back with me."
Zhuang Hong's tone was unquestionable.
Ling Chunuan's mouth twitched. She looked surprised.
"Why? It's your family dinner. Why should I go? "
"You're my fiancée. You should be there."
"What fiancée? Don't joke around." Ling Chunuan avoided Zhuang Hong's eyes and said softly, "When my brother comes back from his honeymoon, I'll make it clear to him."
Zhuang Hong's expression changed. "What do you want to make clear?"
"About the annulment of our engagement. What era are we in now?"
"You want to annul our engagement?"
Zhuang Hong's expression completely darkened.
"Yes, I'm just …"
Zhuang Hong slammed his chopsticks on the table. He stared at Ling Chunuan with a livid expression. "You can't let go of that guy, Lu Nanzhou?"
Ling Chunuan frowned. "What are you doing?"
"I've been living here for almost half a month. What do you think I am?"
"A … a friend?"
"A friend?"
Zhuang Hong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He slammed the table and stood up.
"Okay, a friend. You're really polite to your friends."
That afternoon, Zhuang Hong began to pack up.
Ling Chunuan walked around the living room. She leaned against the door and asked, "You're leaving just like that?"
"What else can I do?"
Zhuang Hong looked back at her. There was some expectation in his eyes.
As long as she said that she wanted him to stay, the suitcase would be turned over immediately.
"I haven't finished eating lunch. It's okay to heat it up, but I can't finish it alone at night."
"Then keep it to feed the stray dogs."
Zhuang Hong's face was sullen. After he said that, he regretted it. The words "keep it to feed the stray dogs" sounded like he was scolding himself. So, he packed up even more violently.
Half an hour later, Ling Chunuan came in with the freshly made green dumplings. "Do you want to have some snacks for your afternoon tea? The food on the plane isn't very good."
Zhuang Hong hesitated for a while. In the end, he decided not to go against the food. So, he ate a bowl and didn't talk to Ling Chunuan. After he finished eating, he went back to the room and continued to pack.
A shirt was folded four or five times. When the suitcase was full, he poured it out again. When he heard footsteps, he continued to pack.
"I sealed some green dumplings for you. Take them with you on the plane. When you get there, you can cook them in the pot."
"…"
"Last time, you said that you liked to eat this pickled vegetable. I sealed a jar for you and put it together with the green dumplings. You don't need to put this in the fridge."
"…"
"I made this candied fruit myself. If you feel uncomfortable on the plane, you can eat some."
"…"
"Ling Chunuan," Zhuang Hong finally couldn't take it anymore. "Are you done? I don't need these things of yours. Have you thought about what I want? "
"What do you want?"
Zhuang Hong suddenly approached her.
"I brought you out of Mauritius and let you live on the island for a month. Then, I lived with you in the old house in the wilderness for half a month. I ate and lived with you every day. I ran in the morning, drank tea in the afternoon, and walked in the evening. I coaxed you to sleep even when it was windy, rainy, and thunderous. Other than me, which other man has been so patient with you?"
Ling Chunuan's back was against the wall. She swallowed hard and muttered,
"My brother."
Zhuang Hong's face was livid. He raised his voice and said, "Except for your brother."
"…"
"Haven't you thought about why?"
"Why?"
Seeing that Ling Chunuan was still in a daze, Zhuang Hong was furious. He pressed Ling Chunuan against the wall.
"Because I like you. I'm willing to spend time on you. There's no other reason. It's just because I like you."
